It also takes advantage of the Lens Modulation Optimiser function that comes on some of Fuji’s X-series cameras like the X100S. This uses the power of the EXR Processor II to reduce optical effects such as image diffraction.

The minimum working distance of the Fujinon Xf 10-24mm is 24cm. It achieves high-speed AF thanks to an inner focusing system that drives smaller lenses in the middle and rear groups without moving the larger lenses in the front groups. It also features a stepping motor.

The Fujinon XF 10-24mm will be on sale from March 2014, priced at £849.99.
